The Forest Queen

Crismania In Despair

After Geo and Mina took a short break, they decided to continue on their way to the kingdom. When they reached the two Hills, they decided to have a peek over to see what was going on. then Mina saw a sight that shocked her eyes. No matter where she turned she saw poor people here poor people there. They were all dirty and starving. It hurt Mina more than words could say, and you know that these people have been living like this for 17 years. But Mina was a determined girl she marched into the village, the clothes she wore, covered her up, so no one could recognize her. she kept her mother's necklace under her clothes, and her father sword hidden. It was truly a sad sight to behold. Mina realized that her people truly needed their Queen. As Mina made her way toward the castle who should stop her than Ronaldo himself.

" you are a stranger to my kingdom aren't you?" Ronaldo said, with a look of suspicion.

" yes, I am." Mina said, bowing our head, hoping that Ronaldo would not recognize her.

Circling her Ronaldo said to her," and where am I to be from"

" I come from far away, sir." she answered him.

Suddenly Ronaldo noticed a hint of gold in her cloak, and became even more suspicious. He then turned to face her.

" will you not show me your face?" Ronaldo asked Mina." And tell me,why do you have a fox for a companion?"

" I would rather not Sir." Mina answered politely.

Suddenly she felt her cloak pulled back and everyone saw her face, her necklace, and her sword. Ronaldo realized she was the princess alive. Ronaldo ordered his guards to grab her. He said that she was the missing princess.

" Yes!" she yelled." I am the princess! I have come to save my people from you! You DARE call yourself a king?!!"

" SILENCE!"Ronaldo said, with an angry tone and look." you have your mother's eyes,you wear her necklace,and you carry the king's sword!" There wasn't any doubt in Ronaldo's mind,she's the princess.

He ordered that she be taken to the dungeon and then she and her friend Geo was put in a cold,dark, and damp cell. One chain was placed around Geo's neck and one was placed on Mina's ankle. In the dungeon Mina was trying to get free by banging a rock on her shackle,but Geo just sat there looking so sad until he had to tell Mina something.

"Mina I'm sorry for being jealous of you and Felix spending time together every time he comes to the forest." Geo explained to her.

Mina dropped the rock from our hand and looked at him . This was the first time she was hearing those words, and then she spoke to him.

" Geo." she said softly." why didn't you tell me? And you don't need to be jealous. You were always my number one best friend it's just that when I met Felix, I felt different. I was overcomed by love. I didn't notice how you were feeling."

"I'm sorry." Geo said to her.

" don't worry about it now."Mina said," right now we need to find a way out of here." Mina reached for her mothers necklace, but she could not find it anywhere around her neck. " oh no! My necklace I must've dropped it!"

Indeed, she did. She dropped it when the guards had grabbed her and nobody noticed it, but that's when her other Fox friend Maisy showed up she saw the necklace, picked it up in her mouth and ran off towards the forest to get help because she had witnessed the whole thing.
But at the same time, the prince was coming back to the forest he had an invitation with him because he had planned to invite Mina to a ball that was organized by his parents and the prince desperately wanted Mina to come. He knocked on the door and Gilbert answered it. the prince, said he had an invitation for Mina, but Gilbert had told the prince that mean I had went to save her kingdom from the evil wizard. but just before the prince could say anything Maisy appeared carrying Mina's necklace in her mouth and dropped it at Gilbert's feet. immediately Gilbert knew something was wrong.
Gilbert told prince Felix the whole story, and immediately they rushed back to the princess castle, got two horses, and we're set it off to The kingdom of Crismania.
The prince asked Gilbert why the kingdom was called Crismania and Gilbert told him it was because below the castle was an old ruby mine that made the kingdom's fortune.
That answer was good enough for the Prince, and they said no more to each other. They just rushed off and hurried to find Mina before it was too late.
